LAURA GELLER Baked Balance-n-Brighten Colour Correcting Powder Foundation (Deep) Buildable Light to Medium Coverage Baked Foundation, Demi-Matte Finish

After using the same foundation for the past 10 years, it was time for a change. The foundation I used in my 40’s no longer looked good in my 50’s and sat in my fine lines or made my skin look caked & dry. I’d done lots of research into different brands and it was a choice between Jones Road or Laura Geller. After watching a lot of videos, reviews & tutorials decided to give LG a go as it was less expensive. I’ve always brought make up in store but was reassured by their free returns/exchange policy incase the shade wasn’t right. I also liked the fact that they were Cruelty Free - something that was important to me but not immediately obvious on their website, I had to do some research to find this out (Laura Geller you’re missing a trick here!) I was pleased with the packaging and how the product looked but was really impressed with how the actual product worked for me. I’ve found dabbing a little on at a time with a big brush helps build the coverage to your liking. It definitely doesn’t sit in my fine lines and doesn’t look cakey. You can achieve a natural look easily and it’s long lasting. It definitely covers the redness on my nose & cheeks. I’ve been so impressed with this I ordered the next shade down too as my skin colour changes in winter in the UK when I lose my tan. I also ordered the Baked Starter Kit direct from LG in the USA as the discount was better. I’ve been beyond impressed with this. As a blonde with pinky tones, the colour choices are perfect and the products stay put. I’ve never been able to blend eyeshadow effectively but this colour combo and product makes me look like a pro!! So, a big YES for Laura Geller from the UK for me, great value for money and great products which are easy to use and compliment mature skin beautifully!

I’ve been using the Light to Medium shade and it matches my skin tone really nicely. The powder feels very soft and lightweight on the skin, and it blends easily without looking heavy or cakey. It gives my complexion a healthy, slightly glowy look which I really like for everyday wear. It’s not a full coverage foundation, so it won’t completely hide pigmentation or darker spots. If you need more coverage you may still want to use concealer or another foundation underneath. However, for a natural look it works very well and evens out the skin tone nicely. I like that it can be used on its own for a quick, natural finish, or over liquid foundation to set makeup. Overall it’s a lovely product if you prefer a light, natural look rather than heavy coverage.

Love it, Love it. Love it I tried all three of the baked foundations and for me this is my favourite and perfect for a daytime look. It is super quick and easy to apply (so long as you have the right tools - ie the retractable beauty brush) and mess free!. It's just the right finish fot me and has a nice luminosity which is enough to give a nice dewey look without being too shiny. I am very fair skinned so could have probably got away with either the fair or porcelain shade but went with porcelain (the lightest shade) for it's pink tones as my skin can tend to look a bit sallow sometimes. It has a real brightening effect which brings the skin to life, it doesn't look or feel heavy or like you are wearing heavy make up or look 'mask like' or cakey as some liquid foundation can. It's a lovely natural finish which is just enough to even skin tone and bring your face to life. Some reviewers have commented they found it a bit pricey but one thing to remember is that one of these will easily last for months of end and you would probably have had to buy at least 4 bottles of liquid foundation before this needed replacing. Others have said they feel this doesn't give enough coverage. Although this is buildable it is designed to give a natural light to medium coverage. If you want a fuller coverage I would recommend using the double take foundation with either this or balance and glow on top. When I apply this (or any of the baked foundations) I always put a little face oil first ( due to my skin being probt yo dryness) and let it sir a few minutes before applying the foundation. I feel like the oil helps it adhere my skin. I also find a make up fixing mist helps set it in place. Before this I tried the balance and glow but found it too shiny to use on its own, although it does work extremely well on top of the double take full coverage foundation when I want more of a full make up look - such as on a night out.

Love this powder. Very smooth and easy to apply. Lasts forever

Quite good a little dark for my very pale skin . But not bad coverage and very quick to apply. I'm only wearing it around the house at the moment to check how long it lasts on my skin. I have also used a cover up stick before applying it.

Really like this compact. It gives me a healthy glow, it's a very good quality item. I'm happy I brought it and I would definitely purchase this item again. It was a very good price, the texture is amazing and the coverage is great. It's a light feel on your face.

Was pleasantly surprised how good this looked on my dry skin, didn't settle into lines or pores and gave light coverage. It won't replace my liquid foundation however as I've some thread veins and hyper pigmentation that still shine through - but I'll keep it for casual days at the house or for the school run!

I was dragged into the hype of this and couldn't resit. Ordered last night and it arrived this morning. What a surprise to find it is actually really good :) the box was undamaged as was the powders inside ( a few reviews with badly damaged products ) there are guides on how to use the product which is helpful for me as I tend not to wear a lot of make up and haven't a clue on what goes where with all the products on the market. Currently I only ever wear a good moisturiser, mascara and eye liner with a nice lip balm. This set ( I bought the starter set as well ) is going to encourage me to wear a little make up now as is so easy to use and doesn't look caked on. Really light to wear. A little on the expensive side but I guess you get what you pay for. Glad I bought it. Really happy with my new powder and the starter set. Only a four star as it is a little pricey for what it is, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Splendido effetto uniformante e leggermente luminoso ma non glitteroso. La shade Medium è un pochino chiara per me ma si può fare.

I genuinely love this product! Some background: I have combination skin and often have difficulties finding a good color match due to time faded freckles all over my face. I am in my early thirties and I feel like my skin is in that weird in between phase where I am starting to get a few fine lines and my skin is starting to lose a little bit of its glow. I want to make sure I’m using products that are going to be gentle as my skin ages but also help me get some serious natural looking glow back. So I’ll list the reasons this product is now my everyday go to! 1. The coverage is buildable and isn’t heavy. I also have the kabuki brush and I like that I can have variations of coverage in different areas and it will all still blend together seamlessly. 2. I use a liquid concealer for my eyes. This powder blends over it well and doesn’t cause the concealer to cake up underneath like some other products I’ve tried. 3. The blurring and brightening effect is just beautiful! It has given me my natural glow back. 4. I use shade medium and I find it works very well with my freckles and complexion. It doesn’t mismatch my neck or look too light/dark. ANDDDD it doesn’t show up orange! Big win! 5. I don’t really need to use liquid foundation anymore because I get such good variation in whatever coverage I want. 6. Touch ups are very easy. I can go from less coverage during the day to simply adding more coverage at night before I go to dinner or anything like that. 7. Easy to travel with. I have started keeping it in my bag every day. 8. It doesn’t irritate my skin. 9. For a powder, it holds well throughout the day without clogging your pores. I don’t need a setting spray. 10. Because of the formula’s versatility, I feel that this is a great powder for ALL age types. My mom (age 65) now uses it and so does my younger coworker (age 26). Overall, great quality, versatility, broad coverage range, brightening, shade matching, and skin gentleness. Pricing is very reasonable as well. I’m truly grateful I found this as my new everyday foundation!

My wife bought this and she loves it. she has fair skin and the color is perfect and covers what she wants covered. she says it can feel a bit dry when first applied but lasts all day without setteling in to fine lines

Ich mache mir selten die Mühe eine Rezension zu schreiben, dieses Puder hat es allerdings verdient! Als Kosmetikerin kenne ich allerhand Bräunungspuder, dieses ist unschlagbar! Ich bin ein eher blasser Herbsttyp und habe mich trotzdem an das dunkle Toffee gewagt und siehe da es wirft ein wunderschönes Braun in mein blasses Gesicht 👌 Mit dem richtigen Pinsel ein Highlight zu setzen, schafft jeder! Ich werde es immer wieder kaufen 🤗

Excellent make up for mature skin have been using it for years now.
